World of Darkness -- Pax Romana

"Man rules now where They ruled once; They shall soon rule where man rules now. After summer is winter, and after winter summer. They wait patient and potent, for here shall They reign again."

Introduction

"Welcome my friends to Todesstadt! Welcome to the grand-burial-mound, the subterranean necropolis, the crypt-city of the half-dead. Here and here alone, those cursed with undeath in all its manifold forms may find acceptance and safety. In this city, the living are but food, or pets, or servants, or slaves. Deep beneath the surface of the earth, we creatures of darkness, we children of lesser gods have established our own civilization. Within Todesstadt you will find subterranean streets lined by stately tomb-abodes and illuminated by witch-fire. Here night becomes day and day becomes night as businesses dedicated to the pleasure and profit of the unliving open their macabre doors welcoming you inside to peruse all the strange and wondrous goods that they have to sell. In the black streets of Todesstadt the very secrets of Death itself are for sale to the highest bidder, but all sales are final and there are no guarantees and no refunds. No one if forbidden entry, but you may not like what you find or what finds you, so consider yourself duly warned."
